WARNING:
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property dam-
age, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water
pipes when making blind or plunge cut.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control and serious injury, make sure that the
blade reaches maximum speed before touching it to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not make plunge cuts in metal materials.
METAL CUTTING
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum,
brass, and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not force.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil will keep the blade cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life.
WARNING:
Never use gasoline, because normal sparking could ignite
the fumes.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in position, and make the cut close to the
clamping point in order to minimize vibration of the work being cut.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise, if possible,
and cut close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between pieces of
hardboard or plywood, and clamp the layers together in order to reduce
vibration and tearing of the material.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear
safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by
their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician at an
Authorized Service Center.
